I have recently been having an issue with my feeder flies not hatching. It seems like no matter what I do, they don’t hatch, or very few do. It may have to do with the temperature of my house, i’m not exactly sure.

I am not a fan of feeding my giant asian mantis crickets, I much prefer flies. Recently since the flies haven’t been working out, I’ve been using mealworms and he absolutely loves them

I’m tired of fighting with the flies tbh. My parents won’t allow roaches and I don’t love moths. I guess my question is, is it alright for me to feed mealworms regularly?

Something is wrong with my baby! He’s still moving he ate yesterday and got a spray of water, but I found him on the floor today, what do I do? I think he fell armoring to molt! He’s due for a molt soon.

I think it's a female, name subject to change 😊

My son's ghost mantis laid its first ootheca on June 24. Then, about a week and a half later, it laid another one, the same size. Today it laid another mini one.

This seems like a lot of egg laying to me! Is this normal? Could she wear herself out this way?

Hey, sorry I keep asking so many basic questions, but I really appreciate the knowledge!

Right now my buddies are on fruit flies, how do I know it's time to graduate them to a bigger bug (and which bug to give them).

They're still eating fruit flies no problem but they're growing fast so want to be ready.

hes so photogenic i love him

hey i haven’t had a mantis in almost two years and im planning on getting one once my paycheck comes in. my last mantid passed from poor heating. is there any heating system that people recommend that’s affordable and keeps the enclosure hot and humid.

Every time my mantis molts I can’t find his old skin. The one time I did find it he was munching on it so I think he’s been eating it. Does this mean I’m not feeding him enough

Guess she didn't like being on my hand 🤪

I only have one mantis and its my first one, but i want more. Since they are expensive to buy at expos, i could get more from an ootheca, but is this a good idea? And if it is, where is a reliable place to order them from in the US?
